Chapter 114 The absurd and dreamy days are over
Fortunately, Yumei Garden is very large, and Sheng Yuan's residence is far away from Ying Lan's residence, and it is not a place they would pass by when traveling.
Lin Mingmo didn't know how to tell Ying Lan the truth, so she could only stay there peacefully.
Ying Lan lives downstairs and Lin Mingmo lives upstairs.
The house is much more compact than Sheng Yuan's, but the decoration is warm and simple, very suitable for living alone.
She was unfortunate. She lost her biological parents when she was young and ended up in an orphanage. She was adopted by Lin Lidong and Yao Yuhui and became their pawn. What happened later...
But she is also very lucky. Every time she thinks the end of the road comes, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Fortunately, she still has her uncle.
The next day, Lin Mingmo wanted to take leave to accompany Ying Lan to the hospital for a check-up, but Ying Lan refused.
"Your frequent leave requests are causing trouble for others. Don't worry, Sister Hua is here with me."
Li Guihua also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take good care of the boss."
Sister Hua looks simple and down-to-earth. Since Ying Lan brought her here, it is enough to show that she is a trustworthy person. She probably also wants to avoid bothering herself as much as possible in daily life.
When Lin Mingmo thought of this, her heart warmed.
My uncle is still the best. He always considers me, unlike Sheng Yuan...
She clenched her teeth involuntarily.
"You don't look well. Why don't you take a leave and go to the hospital together." Ying Lan's gentle voice came into his ears.
Lin Mingmo came back to her senses and shook her head repeatedly, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Seeing Ying Lan's face which was fuller and rosier than before, Lin Mingmo felt relieved.
"Well...if you have anything, please call me." Lin Mingmo waved goodbye to them and hurried to work.
After parking the car and arriving at the entrance of Qianyi Building, Lin Mingmo suddenly stopped.
She looked up at the building and suddenly remembered how Ying Lan had been waiting for her here yesterday.
Did she... tell her uncle that she works here?
How did my uncle find this place so accurately? Or...
Lin Mingmo couldn't help but recall her first encounter with her uncle, when two burly men in black had used a tough attitude to restrict her personal freedom...
Then she lost her phone, and then she kept feeling like she was being followed and monitored...
Lin Mingmo pursed her lips, her heart in turmoil.
"Teacher Kobayashi! Why are you standing here in a daze?" Chen Xue's voice came.
Lin Mingmo came to her senses and followed her footsteps into the building.
She didn't want to care about it. Maybe her uncle was indeed a little mysterious, but he was not a bad person.
Besides, she had nothing and nothing worth others' attention.
*
The hour hand turned twenty times on the dial, and the yellow leaves on the trees fell. The weather was getting colder day by day. Lin Mingmo still felt cold even in her windbreaker, so she had to change into a camel-colored wool coat.
These days are simple and peaceful, with only two routines every day.
I go to Qianyi to work during the day and go to my uncle's house to have dinner with him at night.
This kind of life is good.
But sometimes it feels bland and boring.
Lin Mingmo glanced at the calendar casually and realized that she hadn't heard any news from Sheng Yuan for three weeks.
Even Mo Zheng had never appeared in front of her...
It's a little strange, but also feels normal.
After all, she is not the center of the world, and not everyone revolves around her.
Those absurd and dreamy days have become a thing of the past in their world.
Ying Lan's follow-up examination day happened to be Lin Mingmo's day off, so she wanted to accompany him to the hospital.
After so long, Lin Mingmo still knows nothing about Ying Lan's physical condition.
Every time I asked, my uncle and Sister Hua seemed to have agreed to just answer, "Everything is fine, nothing has gotten worse."
Is it really not getting worse?
Lin Mingmo wasn't sure either.
Her uncle hid his illness very well in front of her, even using makeup to cover up his sick face. Only occasionally did she see her uncle's painful expression that he couldn't hide in time.
Lin Mingmo really dislikes hospitals. She dislikes the busy and sad crowds and the strong smell of disinfectant.
But now, she only cares about her uncle's illness.
After receiving the examination report, Lin Mingmo sat with Ying Lan opposite the doctor and listened to his analysis.
"Mr. Ying, in your case... the most effective treatment is still a kidney transplant," the doctor said solemnly and emotionlessly. "However, there's currently no kidney that matches yours. If you want a match as soon as possible, why not ask your family members to get matched... After all, organ rejection reactions are less likely to occur between relatives..."
Ying Lan's expression changed and he coughed twice, as if trying to hide something.
"Doctor, my physical condition is quite stable." Ying Lan deliberately showed a relaxed expression. "As for that, I can wait if I can. If I can't, it's my fate."
The doctor glanced at Lin Mingmo's face lightly, as if he wanted to hear the family's opinion.
Lin Mingmo was stunned for a moment, her heartbeat quickened, and her face flushed.
She didn't know what to say, her mind was in a mess, and finally she could only say weakly: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family."
The doctor nodded, looked into Lin Mingmo's eyes, and said, "We still have to make a decision as soon as possible. Illness can be overwhelming... sometimes delaying it isn't a good idea."
After leaving the hospital, a cool breeze blew and Lin Mingmo subconsciously wrapped her coat tightly.
But it’s still very cold.
This chill seemed to come not from outside, but from within.
"Xiaomo, don't take the doctor's words to heart."
As the hoarse voice reached her ears, a hand patted Lin Mingmo's shoulder.
"Uncle doesn't want you to sacrifice yourself at all..."
Lin Mingmo turned her head and couldn't help but tear up her eyes.
"I'm sorry... Uncle... I'm sorry..." Lin Mingmo apologized in a choked voice.
In fact, Lin Mingmo had looked up relevant information a long time ago.
She knew that a person could survive with only one kidney, but it would inevitably put too much strain on the body.
She was cowardly and selfish, and didn't want to lose a vital organ in her early twenties and spend the rest of her life with a broken body...
She cried and apologized, and Ying Lan understood her feelings.
He frowned, pursed his lips, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Mo, don't cry, don't apologize." Ying Lan comforted her softly, "If I ask you to donate your organs, your uncle would rather die..."
"You are my uncle's only relative..."
"My uncle's only wish now is to spend one more day with you..."
Ying Lan's voice floated into Lin Mingmo's ears, but instead of comforting her, it made her fall into deeper self-blame and self-doubt.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, but she couldn't make up her mind for a long time.
Tears flowed like pearls.
She could only murmur, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
There were so many sad people in the hospital, so it wasn't surprising that she cried so sadly.
Ying Lan looked at her silently, and there seemed to be a glimmer of ambiguous meaning in his turbid eyes.
"Don't think too much, let's go back."
He patted Lin Mingmo's shoulder gently.
Lin Mingmo has been in a low mood ever since she went to the hospital.
Her heart was uneasy and her mind was in a mess.
The bedroom with the curtains drawn and the lights off is dark even during the day.
Lin Mingmo was lying on the bed in a room like this, wrapping herself up into a small ball.
He covered his head with the quilt, leaving only a hole for breathing.
This way, it feels like being in someone's embrace.
In the extreme silence and darkness, Lin Mingmo silently recalled the past twenty years. Apart from her naive and ignorant childhood, she seemed to have never grasped anything that she cherished.
Lu Cheng, a trusted childhood playmate, turned against him due to family reasons.
The Lin family that he always wanted to protect finally became the heaviest shackle.
The sister whom he tried so hard to protect also broke up with him because of their different ideas.
Even Sheng Yuan... the person who was destined to part ways with her left in a hurry...
Now, he only has his uncle.
Although he appeared in her life very late and for a short time, he has already occupied an important place in her heart.
Is she going to lose even this last person?
no, do not want!
Lin Mingmo knew that she had behaved very poorly in the hospital today. Although her uncle did not say it explicitly, she saw the disappointment in his eyes.
At least, we have to do a matching...
